1. Select Configure Box from the Edit menu or click the Configure Box toolbar
button to open the Basic Configuration Wizard.
The Advanced Configuration Wizard allows many combinations of storage policies and
capacities. This procedure shows how to modify a basic SAFE configuration so that it
contains several volumes, each with different storages policies. This example illustrates
one possible combination that allocates all of the system's available capacity to:
One 50-gigabyte (GB) SAFE volume on drives 0 and 1, with no reserved for a Hot Spare.
One Fast volume that uses the remaining capacity on drive 0 and 1.
One Big volume that uses all of the capacity on drives 2, 3, and 4.
The same sequence of steps applies to any configuration you choose to implement;
only the storage policy and capacity allocation vary for different configuration options.
